Short answer is no since nothing in DMARC requires DKIM. It requires that
an email has passed *either* an SPF or a DKIM check and if a DKIM signature
is present that it correctly validates. If the SPF policy is set to reject
all and the DMARC policy is set to reject if the checks fail, that's a
pretty good way to explicitly state this domain does no email whatsoever
for anyone who cares. (Speaking as someone who manages the DNS and DKIM
signing at work for a domain that malicious actors do love so much that
I've even seen it used as an example in some of the DMARC docs. /g )
